ShutOff 2000

Having lost all but one version of the source code for ShutOff 2000, I re-released it today, ten days early, as a point release (2.8.3). 2.8.2 fixed a problem with date formats across different timezones, so I just re-applied those changes to the 2.8.1 code-base, plus a couple of other minor enhancements.
